Aleš Iglič obtained his Dipl. Eng. degree and Ph.D. degree in physics, M.Sc. degree in biophysics and his second Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering, all from the University of Ljubljana. He is currently a full professor and the head of the Laboratory of Physics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the University of Ljubljana. He was the guest scientist and visiting professor at universities and institutes in Finland, Germany, Czech Republic and Italy. His research interests are mainly in electrostatics, mechanics and statistical physics of cell and artificial lipid membrane surfaces and in interactions of nanoparticles with charged nanostructured surfaces in electrolyte solutions. He is also active in the fields of the synthesis, isolation and characterisation of inorganic and organic nanostructures, applications in surface modification of orthopaedic implants and vascular stents, isolation of extracellular vesicles and simulations of orthopaedic interventions in human joints. Together with Veronika Kralj-Iglič  was in 2021  awarded by state award of  Republic of Slovenia for significant achievements in physics.  In 2023 was elected as an associate member of Slovenian Academy of Engineering.
